Chairman Pai Talks Rapid Responses to COVID-19 and More in New Teleforum

On April 3, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai participated in a "Capital Conversations" teleforum hosted by the Federalist Society on "The FCC and the COVID-19 Pandemic." Audio of that teleforum is now available to stream or download from the Federalist Society's website. In the teleforum, Chairman Pai gives a quick overview of the FCC's activities in responding to the flu pandemic, including the Commission's Keep Americans Connected Pledge and COVID-19 Telehealth Program. During the question-and-answer portion, Chairman Pai also addresses current communications policy topics ranging from the Restoring Internet Freedom Order and Mozilla v. FCC remand to spectrum proceedings such as C-Band, L-Band, and 6 GHZ.
